I feel i finally come home lol!
I have never been diagnosed with add , and when i talked to my family doctor, she had that look in her face telling me that she knew very little about it. She ask if i wanted ritalyn, but since she did not seem sure plus the fact i am not really crazy about taking any meds that i passed on it for now. I am on effexor since 2000 tho, for anxiety. My doc said that probably i was always anxious even as a child. Within a month of starting the meds, i went back to school and was able to actually fonction like everyone else. My anxiety were really bad to the point of pretty much making me unable to function normaly. I was alone with 3 young kids and all my left over energy was given to them. Now very controllable anxiety left , but i still have 3 books started at the same time. I still vaccum, and do the dishes and start a recipe and wash clothes at the same time. I was a very hyperactive kid, and still a pretty hyperactive 41 yrs old woman lol.
But since 97 when my daughter was born i started a long journey to try to understand myself, not with outside eyes but with my own eyes, and i think it as been a very successful one. I have lost 110 pounds since, stopped putting myself down, i am maybe weird or crazy for some people, but for the ones that are able to see that inside that tornado of energy and exuberance there is a heart of gold just wanting to do good. In my own special add way lol.
Thank you for reading me...and i am sure i will be posting more, this is a great site. ;D
ps: My mother tongue is french, so please excuse any grammar problems
